When I first took pictures of a couple cedar waxwings in my backyard it was my first time seeing this species after hoping for so long I would. Defiantly one of the more elegant looking birds out there, and while the purpose of the waxy tips on some of their feathers is not 100% known, I believe a large part has to do with attracting a mate 🐦💕

Few birds look as sleek as the Cedar Waxwing, and they seem to exude an air of luxury. More often heard than seen, a sharp ear can pick up on a flock (they are often found alone) before they ever zip into and out of view. If you are lucky, and patient, they may perch out in the open just so they can prove to you they are not an auditory hallucination or some feathered figment of your imagination. What you are rewarded with is a sublimely exotic looking bird that looks like it has no business being in Anytown, USA. But there it is, a reminder that beauty is bountiful for those who look.

Y'know, it's taken me way too long to get a decent shot of one of these cedar waxwings. They're not shy birds at all. This one landed on this branch, watched me watch him/her for a little bit, then went back to foraging.

Tough lighting but I loved the juxtaposition of the Cedar Waxwing mural and the boy playing basketball. Spending time in Friday Harbor last Sunday/Monday and found this beautiful Cedar Waxwing mural by artist Jake Wagoner of Kirkland titled “Witness the Beauty” at Sunken Park. “I wanted it to be a reminder to viewers, and to myself, to always try to see the bright side of things” he says.
